District requests budget revision to reclassify indirect funds for educational support position
Summary
District staff asked the board to approve a budget revision to reclassify funds freed by a lower indirect cost rate and to hire an Educational Support Professional (ESP); transcript records the presentation but no formal board vote was recorded.
District staff presented a budget revision request asking the board to reclassify funds available after the district's indirect cost rate dropped and to use the savings to hire an Educational Support Professional (ESP).
What staff said: The presenter explained that the district had budgeted with an expected indirect cost rate of about 8.27 percent but the actual rate dropped to approximately 5.2 percent. That difference freed funds in the grant ledger (object 82310), and staff recommended a budget revision to reclassify those funds to support an ESP hire. The presenter described the request as an action item with a recommendation to the board.
Board action: The transcript records the presentation and recommendation but does not record a motion, vote or final outcome on this budget revision request during the meeting.
Why it matters: Reclassification of indirect funds affects how federal and grant dollars are used; hiring an ESP would add operational capacity tied to grant services. Staff noted the district previously funded data-entry and plan-lead work via stipends tied to Act 20 implementation (discussed elsewhere in the meeting).
